I know that's what me and coach are about to do when this is all wrapped up in about 45 minutes. Thank you, Seat Geek. Thank you Team Mobile for bringing us through the postseason.

I am Jake Storelli at Talking Jake. That is Trevor Plouf. Number 24 in some circles. Rob Seraco is here producing his butt off. Dalton Feeley is here. on the grind as we just wrapped up the 2025 season.

Trev, it's it's kind of the team we thought, but my God, the journey is nothing like what we would have expected. How are you, coach? I feel like I need a cigarette, if you know what I mean. I mean, truly, truly an all-time world series. We got the seven games. We got the back and forth here at the end. And this series had everything.

The storylines were great. We're talking two nations going at it. I mean, everything that you could want. I know if you're a Blue Jays fan, you are severely, severely disappointed right now. I know if you're a Dodgers fan, you're elated right now. The rest of us who are watching, I know you might have some animosity towards the Dodgers, but we just got gifted a beautiful series to watch. I think it reminded everybody that's in the sports world.

there that there's nothing like the baseball postseason. When the baseball postseason hits, it's a little different. Like, you know, hockey has a very special thing in its postseason, like the way those guys grinding it physical. Baseball has a weird physical aspect. Look at every player on the Blue Jays limping around the field. Like, it's a weird mix in these contrasting styles and everything that was out there. It was beautiful.

And the different stars that came into play and the non-sost. stars that come into play because you got to go through that batting order and anything can happen. It was, it was beautiful. Toronto fans will never be able to understand how beautiful it was because it's awful. It's the worst feeling you can possibly have because it was in their hands. Trev, there's so much to talk about. It's like every inning, it's every play, it's every pitch. That's the other beauty of baseball.

The other sports you can, you know, you can turn your head. away for a little bit. There wasn't a lot of times you could do that here. I have a semi-burn. I had two juiced up and ready to go, but let's, uh, let's crank it. The best words in sports, it's game seven, inner circle hall of famer. Mad Max Scherzer would try to complete the Jay's Fury Road of an October against the Dodgers and two-way sensation Jake Star, show Hey Otani for Angeles bottom three holy shit the shet three run homer off of show hey it's three nothing bluebirds in the fourth teosker gets grouchy with the sack fly to chip away and then Tommy Ed man he is the man it's three to two but in the bottom of the

six him and as what fortitude by the Blue Jays to make it fortitude it would say that way into the 8th. Max Muncie. That funky Muncie, he sends one into the second deck. It's four to three. In the ninth, Miggi Rojas,

Chris Rose rotation. I think we did a trade draft with him, a free agent. Insane. The man goes big fly after riding the bench to tie up the World Series at four. Buenos Contos. And in the 11th,

Will Smith is finally the bride after being the bridesmaid on so many talking baseballs. He is a bad boy for life. Home run into the seats and his bad boy riding partner is Yoshinovu Yamamoto pitching on zero days rest. 2.2 shutout to get the win. It was Otani to Robleski to Glassnow to Sheen to Snell to Yamamoto. Your World Series champions are the 2025 L.A. Dodgers. Unbelievable, Jay. I mean, to do it in record time like that, you're just the goat.

You are, you, Will Smith. Kendrick Lamar. You want the standings? Short kings. The final standings of 2025. The final standings of 2025 in this world series, the Dodgers, four and three, the Blue Jays, three and four. Dodgers take the ship.

I forgot Max Scherzer started the game. We have so much to cover right now. When, okay, weird place to start. When the pandemic hit, I had just moved to the city. and me and Jimmy, we just like started this becoming a real company and we're like,

what the hell do we do? And so we watched some old world series games and famous playoff games and we posted it. I was also part of the company. Yes, you were, and you were amazing out in Calabasas. We just watched these old world series games

and you're like, you're watching these different plays and sequences that you don't know are part of the Buckner game. Like it just, it's stuff that has to get forgetting over time because you have to forget it. This game is, littered with it from start to finish.

The fact we're going to look back and see Scherzer and Otani is fucking nuts. Sorry, kids. Shane Bieber ends up giving up that last home run. Do we just start from the top and chew through it, Coach? Because there's so much. There's so much. I think we have to. Yeah, you're right.

I mean, it's going to take us a while because, like you said, first of all, we went to extra inning. Second of all, so much happened. every player coming in. Like quick general thoughts. I put out a few of these on my ex, Twitter, whatever. Nice. I do think this Yamamoto performance is best, what I thought was, in my time,

the best World Series pitching performance, which was Madbub in 2014. Madbun went 21 in a couple, 21.2 or something like that, one earned run. But he was spaced out. It was like three days, three days, three days. This was 94 pitches and then two and a third the next night to close out the world series. That's insane. Chris Rose said he might be in the pitching plans tonight, and I said there's just no way. That's one thought.

Another thought I had was, man, the Blue Jays were banged up and kind of forced Schneider's hand to pinch run at times. And that comes back to Biden, just like it did in the 18 inning game. And last thought, well, two more. one, I thought Dave Roberts did a great job managing. We'll get into all his moves. And two, we got the high son Kim, citing. Last ending of the World Series. He was on the field when it ended, Coach.

What? That turns in when that's your favorite team, if you're lucky enough to win the World Series, the final lineup that's on the field gets remembered. And I think Jerry Hirston with the 09 Yankees gets remembered for that. Randy Johnson with Arizona is the only one that, like, comes to mind for me because he did pitch that next day and you're just like sure I honestly how do you do that I don't really remember that like I know that's 2001

yeah oh one I mean so I should have remembered that but in my mind I have the 14 and then that yeah let's get into it coach because it's it's the first inning and by the way we're Max Scherzer's in this game who wasn't on their DS roster no um healthy scratch inner circle Hall of Fame or three times I young has made the second most amount of money ever playing this sport two different colored eyes I don't know if you're new to the show that's pretty nuts right he comes out

and strands show Hey Otani after a lead off single nice play to cut that ball off bottom first George Springer matches my God George Springer in this series just insanity getting hurt with each each swing. Scherzer comes out again, one, two, three. And he looked good, man.

He, you know, he was throwing 95, 96. You're debating, is this going to be the last time we see Max Scherzer? Like, he hasn't said anything about his final time pitching. And, hey, I say this about every month on this show. I hope he becomes one of those old pitchers that just joins a team at midseason every year because the sport can have that and it's fun. this could be the last time we see him and the next time we see Max Scherzer

he's on some weird like fishing show or something like that but I don't know I hope we see more of him he looked great they get out of trouble in the second Beset lead off walk Addison Barger single Kirk pop out far show fly out

Ernie Clement single Well they couldn't they couldn't do anything because Beset was hurt You couldn't run I mean Bichette on the barge of On the barger base hit the right. That's a Bichette goes first or third, but he can't.

Clement with a two-out knock, Bichette can't score. Yeah. They were all over Otani, by the way, who was breathing crazy heavy. And I know they gave him extra time in between innings, which is apparently umpire discretion. I'm glad Mark Carlson was there to kind of like break down all of that.

Because I think a lot of people are wondering what the hell was going on. Essentially, they said, yeah, if the umpire can deem he needs more time, it's no big deal. But the fact that Bo Bouchette couldn't run, really hurt them in that inning and then really hurt them later in the game, middle of the game, when he goes yaya to promote a 3-0,

you're happy with it. But like the bookends of Bo Bichette's knee really, it kind of, you know, hamstrung this team, if you will. It was, I will. It was a massive factor and on a lot of different, you know, he would have scored on the Ernie Clement single,

probably. And like you said, the play before that, he advances another base normally. So that is crazy to think about, it's crazy to think about Max Scherz are coming out for the third. One, two, three, eight. Nine in a row, retired at that point. Crazy.

And then in that third inning, like you referenced, Springer, another single. Lucas Sack Bunt that at the time, I don't know. I wasn't necessarily in love with, but we're the number one baseball show that encourages a good bunt from time to time. And if it puts a run on the board, it ended up putting three on the board because they intentionally walk Vladdy Oh, well, A, they pitch to them at first

They throw a wild pitch that moves the runner to third Which we said, and I don't know, this is almost baseball's version of in the NFL When there's like a fourth and three And they try to draw the other team off sides But you know that's what they're doing. Like baseball's version is like the, hey, bounce a couple in the Let's see if he swings.

And again, we do that because sometimes it works. In this situation, you knew they weren't going to pitch to Vladdy, but he spikes the first ball. It gets away. And then they throw up the fours, which, okay, the Dave Roberts meter in this game, it went to the bad side after this one. Why? Because if you're going to walk them, just throw up the fours.

And keep first and second. I mean, I don't know. I still think, I don't think they were trying to. Well, I don't know. You're right. I guess there's a little confusion there, but I don't know. I don't know if I'm having that on Dave Roberts right there. I think he made the decision. Obviously, Bo comes and makes them pay for that with a hanging slider right there, which was, by the way, a beautiful swing. Do we show it yet? Thank goodness. Look at that. That was. And they had the graphic of later. It was like, Joe Carter, Jose Batista, George Springer, Boba, Bichette, like big homers in Blue Jay's head. history and I was like, damn, that's pretty cool to look at. Like, if you think about it that way, like, homers will be thinking about for a long time. And then obviously it's not going to be that way necessarily. But that chases Shohei coach.

He gets them out of the game. That behind shot was so cool where you see Beset swing and you see the right field bleachers there, get to react to it. I love that one. Yeah, and I, Shohei, like you said, breathing heavy, didn't look his sharpest. in the first inning, you know, a couple of the ball knowers in the office were like, is he throwing just a little differently that, again, I don't know if that was fatigue or I don't know if that was the pressure or if it was just mechanics being off for an inning.

But yeah, it was an interesting outing by Shohei. He didn't, did not look his best. No, he had no command of anything except for his fastball essentially. Smoltz was talking about him like not finishing, kind of going a little early with all his mechanics and that could be a byproduct of him being fatigued. I mean, my goodness. Right. It's game seven of the World Series.

He does a lot. So there's obviously reason for him to be tired, but Robleski coming in after that, I also did not have on my bingo card, especially at the beginning of this series. That's why I think, you know, Roberts did. Yeah. He earned the World Series because he kept going.

He was trying to find who was going to work for him in that bullpen. And in the end, like Robleski was one of the, guys. This guy's a hot hand. I'm going to go with them there. It gives up an 0-2 knock to barger, but no extra blood there. It keeps it 3-0. But again, I think, you know, Roberts figuring that out. That's a sign of a good manager. Been there before. Been there a lot. And top four, again, Treve and I take over, Rocky Snakes, whatever front office throws us the money, an answer back inning. It just matters more. And the Dodgers do that.

After the three-run homer, the place is going loony tunes. And that's what they call their money up there, I think, are part of their money. Loonies and tunis? Anyways, sorry, Canada. Will Smith lead off double. We'll talk about him a lot. Freddie Freeman single, Muncie Walk, Teosker Sack Fly. So, like, man, they're Dalton Varsha with the diving catch.

this inning could have been a lot worse. The fact it stays at 3-1, almost the momentum of baseball, like the momentum ends up going back to Toronto because this inning could have gotten so out of hand. Yeah, I mean, it was a great defensive inning by Toronto, except for one play. I mean, yes, Varshal comes in, snags that ball. If that gets by him, I mean, that's probably three runs,

but instead it's a sack fly. Vladdy ends it on the Edmund ball kind of like in foul territory. But the months of you walk, Kirk had a foul tip. man in his glove. He gloves like 99% of the time. He doesn't end up doing that. So Muncie obviously walks to load the bases. If he catches that, that's a different story.

But all in all, I think where the circumstances got, I think the Blue Js are very happy to get out of there with one run. Yes, absolutely. Bottom four. Bottom four. Benches clear to this game. I got yelled at my Blue Jays fans for my take here. Let's hear it.

Well, it was, I mean, Jimenez, I know he got, eventually it was three pitches up and in, but the second one he kind of like takes his hand off the bat. He's got the pad on the hand. It's weird. It is, I mean,

I don't hate it. Right. He's trying to get hit, get on base. In fact, you know, a few guys at the end of the game who should have done that as well.

So he throws the hand out there on this pitch. No, not this one. I think it's coming up here. kind of throws the hand, it misses him. And then you can just tell Robleski didn't have, you know, great command right there. And I promise you a guy like that's not throwing it anybody. Okay, he is just nervous. Especially the nine-hole hitter.

I know Jimenez, his unique postseason is going to go down in history, but he is not trying to hit him. But also, yeah, also, like Jimenez is just reacting to. It's not like he was doing anything that, like, we would all do the same thing. like it's just common it's just nature to just say what the hell man like throw a strike but it hit him in the pad so just like go to

go to first base the last thing you want is for what happened basically like warnings to be issued or God forbid someone starts chirping and throws a punch now somebody's out of the game like this is all the stuff I always talk about with like pitchers hitting people on purpose

like there's just you know a butterfly effect with it all so whatever nothing ended up happening The warnings came out, which was kind of crazy to me, to be honest. In the moment, I said there's no way there should be warnings issued right there. Yeah, Benches cleared. Like, Benches cleared in this game, which is... Like Clayton Kershaw, the best pitcher of our generation,

sprinted out for the bullpen just in case a fight broke out in the fourth inning. That's part of this game. Just stay, just stay out there. If we rewatch this game in a year, I think we would be shocked by almost every year. inning. Yeah. Springer infield single hits it off of Roblesky, like kind of. Yeah, right after that. Like, okay, dude, you want to be beefy? How about this?

Lucas strikes out. Tyler Glass now comes in. And again, like, the Dodgers are navigating a very interesting pitching path to victory that when you start pressing the buttons, you start running out of buttons really quickly or every time we think that, the 18th inning game, this Dodgers Penn has shown up, gets Vladdy to line out to end the inning. Top five, Rogers, or Rogers, Dodgers strand a couple. Louis Varland comes in the game because that's a requirement

as he pitched in the most postseason games that any player has ever done in a postseason. So snaps for Minnesota Lou. Freddie flies out to end the inning. Let's see. Top five. Bob, blah, blah. Dodgers. Nothing happened.

Kirk with the 02, two out base hit, but that's it. Top six. Muki Betts walks on a three-two count. Max Muncie single. Max Muncie in this game, dude. Hey, Oscar, fielder's choice, Tommy Edmund with the sack fly.

Makes it a three to two game. And it's, you know, when you go from, and this is against, Bassett, who Bassett had been nails. He'd been probably the best relief pitcher this postseason. It does bring up a little asterisk for him pitching in yesterday's game. They were up four and he comes in to close it out. He's traditionally a starting pitcher that this was the least sharp he looked this postseason that something of note, if you're trying to know everything that went down in this game. But yeah, it's 3-0 turns to 3-2,

and it's the big bad Dodgers, and I think everyone starts thinking the same stuff. Yeah, they had a chance there again. Miggy Roe got the counter 3-2 with bases loaded, ends up hitting that tapper gets jammed back to Bassett, so that ends the threat. But you talk about answer innings. Here come the Blue Jays.

Clement, who just unbelievable freaking guy, who will get there, had visions of riding around a hero on the flow, endorsement deals in Toronto everywhere, if it wasn't for Andy Paez. 3-1 single lead it off. He steals second base, no throw. And then Jimenez,

full count slider in the gap for the double. Makes it four to two. At that point, you just started thinking that this Dodgers offense has not been there. They get this lead back. It's just more Blue Jays ball, guys at the bottom of the order getting it done. It just, honestly, this entire game

felt like the Blue Jays were going to win. From the get-go, it felt like the Blue Jays were going to win. Like, Shurs are having a much better start than Otani, good at bats, Clement doing his thing, Varsho in that inning, catching that line drive. Like, everything was working for the Blue Jays. And at this point, again, I was like, the Blue Jers are going to win the World Series.

There's no doubt in my mind. In the bottom of the sixth, they're going to do it, man. They bring in, you savage, in the top of the seventh. Otani walks, Smith hits the hangar, and then Freddie hits into that double. play, which Vladdy takes, which I thought, you know, and I'm going to smolt to you guys right here a little bit. To the untrained eye, it's like, okay, it's just double play. But like, so aggressively not going to the base at first when you're that close means something. Like he

does that a lot. And Blue Jays fans always point that out. Like Vladdy goes for the aggressive defensive play a lot because he has a really, really good arm. One of the best arms for a first baseman that you're going to see converted third baseman. That point, play right there. Again, I was like, this is it. Like, they're, they're doing Blue Jay stuff right here and he's fucking fired up right there. That's so cool to see. Everything was going Blue Jays. So yeah, a couple things I want to go back on. Jimenez's RBI double. He was trying to bunt earlier that at bat. And we've seen that a few times this postseason that they have

offered the out. And then this MF or Blue J brand of baseball, they end up getting like the big hit that you're right like when beshette homered you're like oh my god toronto's going to win the world series the dodgers start sneaking into the game but when they punch back with clement and Jimenez again you're like oh my god Toronto's winning the world series um and then that double play and i guess a couple things here a laddie's defense throughout this postseason was amazing yeah amazing uh that diving catch he had earlier on on Freddie that ended up in foul territory. That was Edmund.

Was that Edmund? Yeah. That was an amazing play. I mean, that ends up in foul ground and Vladdy's there. That, yeah, I was surprised he didn't touch the bag, but, you know, the other perk of getting rid of that is that, you know, the hard part of that double play normally is either the pitcher covering or the first baseman getting back. But because he's so close to the bag, that part of the transaction is out of play that, yeah, man, he lets out that. roar and it's Toronto's buzzing. So really it's like his internal clock there understands the runner understands hey I have enough time here I can get rid of this ball keep Shohei off of second

base. You know if I go back and touch the bag maybe show hey gets in there and all of a sudden you know they have a runner in scoring position so the internal clock there you know says I'm going to go there gets back and then another point of that was that at that point because of the devil play, Otani was not guaranteed to get up again. Right. So if they got six outs in a row right there, it's game over.

Otani doesn't get to hit. We did that on the live stream. We did the Otani math and it's like, wait, we might not see it. Not that Otani's like, like done so much in this series, but it's always,

I think everyone was doing that. Didn't they have that last world series too? Oh, yeah. So many batters to Otani. is up. I mean, look, I was doing it. And I bet a lot of people were. They were doing on the broadcast as well. End of the day, he's still show Hey Otani. Like I, you know, playoff numbers I do think matter and we struggle with how to quantify it because it's smaller sample size. But he's, he's show Hey Otani. So that's that. At the beginning of the game, I think it might even before the game started. Joe Davis said this is the, he just called him like the best player of all time. And nobody bad of the night. John Smoltz who like, you know, I feel like old school guys don't like that. Yes.

Was just like, yeah. Like, it was like, to me, I was like, wow, we've come, we've come to a point now or we're just saying it and nobody's really fighting it. Smolts think Shohei's a fever dream. Like Smoltz doesn't think he's alive. Like Smoltz has been told this can't happen and he can't believe that show hey's real. So he just rolls with it. He's like, that MF right there is not real and he's kind of not.

Okay. To add on to at this point, Toronto was going to win the world. series. Jack Morris and freaking Paul Molitor are throwing up the first pitch for you. Everything is coming up Toronto right now.

Everything. Ernie Clement is Paul Molliter, I think, also. Ernie Playoff, Ernie Clement is a video game 99 and it's just the most postseason hits ever. Trev, the

You can't call Rania Rosa Rana the best to ever do it anymore. I don't think we can. If he was, this might have been Seattle. Before we get into kind of even more juicy stuff somehow, it's all brought to you by Skims. Trev's neighborhood very familiar with Skims. And I finally found my sweet spot. I had to mess around with the Skims brand,

known for their revolutionizing shapewear. They have men's underwear now, help change your daily routine. The stretch, the cotton, and the sport. Turns out I'm a stretch guy. I always assume I'm sporty because, I mean, look at me. But the stretch, that's what I'm looking for. The cotton, if you're looking for the long-lasting everyday wear,

or the sports fabric that wicks away the sweat. Skims has you covered on every base with their lineup, so you have options to choose from. Shop skims.skims.com. Let them know we sent you. you place your order, select podcast in the survey and select our show in the drop down menu that follows. Thank you, Skims. Go on. My friends are watching our show live outside right now on my TV. That's never happened before. So shout out. Let's go. Kyle and Tyson, yeah. Calabas.

Woo! Little skin. Little skin. That's a final show tradition. Trev, top eight. Is that where we're going? That's where we're at, dog. Yeah, because sheen comes in, does his job in the bottom of the seventh. Okay. Top eight. You know, of a lot of Dodger players that won't get full snaps, Emmett Sheehan, if that inning goes awry, and it's 7-2, and we say, well, it was their weakness, so that does deserve the no.

You savage comes back out. Hoffman is warming in the pen. Gets mooky bets to ground out, and you're like, honestly, the conversation over here, I know the Blue Jays love Hoffman, and rightfully so, like, very talented, has had some big playoff moments. We were looking around like, you know, the Yassavage double play, if he keeps going, is this just Yassavage and he becomes the movie character? Max Muncie turns on one, splitter that ends up in the middle. And by the way, that hasn't mattered for a lot of guys. Yesavage has had a lot of splitters that end up in the middle

and they still can't touch it. That makes it a one-run game, Trev. And now Toronto doesn't know if they're going to win it again. I still felt like they were going to win. I know that the momentum goes back there. I was also thinking out Yassavage and just like what kind of performance he's given. And like at this point, I mean, there's so much at stake

that, you know, you just start thinking about like, whose life is going to change. We still talk about Joe Carter all the time. Yeah. And we wouldn't have if he didn't hit this Homer. Like, these are the times where, like, literal legends get made. And like, Yassavage had a chance there to do it. And, and Ernie Clement and all these guys, I mean, that's what you start thinking about in times like this. Muncie, the solo shot, that was a big boy Homer.

That's kind of all he hits. Like, he doesn't hit, like, no one of the skaters there. 4-3, Hopin comes. in. He gets Edmund 4-3 to end the inning. And then we get, I mean, I think this is where Dave Roberts really starts to go a little bit here. Yeah, final note, because when Hoffman came in, I think it was a discussion and like also the idea, okay, if you want Hoffman for the ninth, do you want him to do an up-down, which is a thing with relievers. He had really good numbers career versus Tommy Edmund. I think it was 0 for 7. So they press the button. They get you

savage out of the game on short rest, and it's probably the right move. Um, in the eighth, Ernie MF and Clement. What else do you expect? Lead off double. Um, gets, hits him with the shrug. I know, pretty cool. Hits him with the shrug. I'm going to be managing this team in 2044.

Um, sorry about it. He looks like Aaron Boone. So much like him. So much like him. It's bizarre. They show that swing to. and, you know, I think that was a fastball top of the zone. And just like little to like just no movement.

Head stays still. Eyes are stationary. So he's seeing every ball. It's why he can go and get all these pitches. Like the head is so still, so direct. I hope, look, I think a lot of people are saying, oh, he had a great postseason. Go look at Ernie Clement and what he did this year, war-wise,

because he's a versatile player and that means a lot. I mean, he put up a four or three guys. Like, this is a player right here. Yeah, and he mashed lefties in this postseason, he matched everyone, and it's a contact bad. And this is, honestly, last year with Toronto was his first full opportunity. Like, I know with Cleveland, he got some partial run, and that can just be really hard.

Like, if you're not a guy guy in this league, and it's really hard to get run, that I don't know. Maybe it's a late break. breakout that Ernie's going to break out four more four war seasons or who knows what the next path is in. But my God, he was on everything. He was getting on top of a hundred on the top of the zone. Like he's, the bats were impressive. Snell comes in. They have a chance now to add another run. I think if they, if they get it to two, get that insurance run. I think it's over. I truly think it is over. The way

the Dodgers offense hasn't been there, that's what I thought. You have the right guy to do it. You have Jimenez up. You know he's going to Bunt. Shows it a couple times, ends up pulling it back, and hits a freaking missile.

Insane. Right at Muncie. Trevor, this is the one I mentioned the moments in games that you kind of forget just because Will Smith's home run has to be remembered forever. and a couple other moments. This one is the one that I think if you rewatch,

your jaw would just drop. Like, this was the perfect emblemism, symbolism of these Toronto Blue Jays. Jimenez, again, trying to bunt, pulls it back, ropes one. And it is in like the 10 square feet that you couldn't hit it. Because Max Muncie's body is turned.

We saw this when they had the special wheel play that we complimented them on against the brewers that was so amazing, that Max Muncie's turned sideways, that it's near his glove, that if it's anywhere else, if it's on the other side of his body, if it's a little more out, if it's a little higher, it's down the line, and we're talking about Andres Jimenez as a superhero, who never has to buy a drink again in Toronto. And instead, it turns into an out, and you're just like,

again, that was the first, uh-oh. Yes, this is where I thought, okay, if they keep it within one, anything can happen. And you do as a third baseman there, because you have to have your eye on the runner at second base, you can't just go in too far and have Clement and just steal third base because nobody's going to be there. So you have to be shifted over a little bit like Muncie was just so you can keep your eye on them. But I don't know what's it called, not a lucky play, a great play by him. But yeah, that ball could have easily got down the left field line. All of a sudden, we're sitting 5'3.

Jimenez on second base and with a chance to add on. Instead, get that out. Springer, I mean, Snell got nasty on Springer for the K right there. Like real, real nice stuff. And then they pull the Davis-Schneider button. Yep. He pinch hits for Lucas and Snell K's him as well. Kind of like a redemption inning for,

snow after a couple bad starts and and in my opinion a bad post game press conference when he said these guys just kind of got lucky on me uh but hey he backed it up to this thing he was filthy um that's nasty it's it's video game stuff that he he has to work with um and yeah at the same time you're doing you're doing all the world series moments that you're like this m fer schneider with his mustache and 5-9 wrestler frame, is he about to become absolute folklore? It doesn't happen for him, but it's okay. Because it's 43.

Hoffman comes in and you go, okay, here's Kike Hernandez. I've seen this one. Hoffman gets nasty on him. Bangs a couple beautiful slider, strikes him out. Miguel Rojas comes up. and you're wondering, I don't know, are they going to try to just push the Pahas button and hope that maybe the mental reset has done something?

I saw him, we've become his biggest fans because we're like, are we ever going to see him? They let Miggi Rowe go out there. Oh, I did not think they were going to pinch it for Mughey Rowe because he had great swings. I didn't think so either, and he has a contact bat that you're like, okay, he's going to give us a shot, which Pah has proved he kind of did not.

And again, Heissan Kim, we've now built up in our heads as something else. Miguel Rojas hits a game tying. Please. 3-2 pitch, right? And what are you saying if you're McGee Roe with the guy behind you? They ain't walking me. They're coming right at me with a heater. He gets a slider coach.

I know. I know. He gets a slider, stays on it, stays through, it enough and has his freaking hero moment, man. Just an unbelievable swing. I don't know what there is to say, man. Again, this is another Dave Roberts needs a little slap on the butt right here for pushing that button in game six, getting him in there, changing things up. Because this guy, not only did he provide this beautiful moment for the Dodgers, but later in the game makes some incredible defensive plays

because that's what he does. We saw it to end the game last night. We saw him to save the game here in the bottom of the ninth. We'll get to it. But this swing right here, again, a three two slider. That was my favorite reaction all night,

by the way. They just showed Dave Roberts when he was just like, oh my God. McGee Row. And like, yeah, we root for him. He was like with our company.

You mentioned he did a free agent draft. Like he's like, been part of it, man. It was kind of horribly inappropriate. Like, in hindsight, we were like, oh, Miggie Rose is going to join us. And then I was like, oh, shit, he's talking about guys going to other teams. I was like, is this, are we going to hear from the PA about this?

And has been. They have their own issues right now. Nothing. We'll get to that, people. We'll get there later in the episode. You know, he's just, you know, Rob produced Chris Rose rotation for a long time. And like, Mickey Rowe of that crew, like, I don't want to say it doesn't get better because they're all kind of different types,

like Glass Now is a great cat, but McGee Rose in all world. I think he did the most episodes. He's awesome. He's unbelievable. Such a nice guy. Oh, and the other thing was a lot of position players didn't want to do it because they were in the everyday grind,

whereas like pitchers, oh, yeah, Chris Rose, I'll do it on my off day or, oh, I just had a good start. Yeah, I'll do it this week. Mickey Rose was just like, all right, yeah, I want to get involved in this. So I don't know. Again, maybe we're flying too close to the sun there. But a guy who had, these are his,

home runs per season the last four years. Seven, six, five, six. It's where baseball is a separator, man. We were trying to describe it before. Like basketball in a big moment, a dude's going to get the rock. Normally, you know, we have our standouts in different moments that happened, but like,

Miguel Rojas was coming up to the plate, and he just hooks a ball down the line, and it's the first player to ever hit a game-tying Homer in the ninth or later of a winner-take-all World Series game. Unbelievable. McGee-Row. And just a reminder,

his first year when he signed with the Dodgers was not good. Not good. And they think about all the talent they are able to go out and get and they stuck with that guy and the fact it paid off like this. It's truly unbelievable.

Like, actually unbelievable. But Shohei flies out Which was scary for a second Because again the way that The ball comes off First pitch Like he was just swinging the rest of the game

Didn't care Will Smith strikes out Let's see if he makes up for it Bottom nine Trevor This is nuts dude This is crazy this inning Because we're also

We were streaming So you're like outputting a lot That you're not depositing as much info Vladdy flies out on a ball that everyone, you pause for a second. 3-0 pitch, I said he's swinging right here. And Blake pulls the string a little bit, throws on the change,

and just gets him out in front. Like, you know, I think Vladdy has to know that he's just not going to get pumped the 3-0 heater there. At the same time, it's hard to turn your brain off like that as a hitter. Right. Like, 3-0, I'm about to end this fucking game. And that's going to be my statue pose. That's what it's going to be outside of Roger Center.

It gets a little out in front of it. I think everyone that was here, I had a bunch of Dodger fans here, obviously. They kind of looked and gasped audibly. But fly out to center. And again, that comes up. Again,

this isn't how baseball works because you can't, the predetermined fallacy or something like that. Michael Kay says it, and I try to input it, but I'm not good. You know, that would have been a Vladdy Walk.

Like, that would have been ball four. So again, where the inning goes, it doesn't work like that. But Boba Chet single. And they pinched, run with my guy, I KF.

I don't, you have to. I can't, I'm not even mad at Schneider for that. After seeing this go back to the third inning, right, you have to pinch run for him. He can't, he like could not run. So you have to go back to two things. You have to go back to the 18 inning game, which your team, your team became completely depleted.

And again, you're not playing for 18, but it's also, yeah, because go back, straw is now. in the game because Lucas got pinch hit for by Schneider and Strah replaced Schneider defensively. So now your 2-0 hitter is Miles Straw. Your 4-0-hitter is now I-KF. So it's a decision. And I guess here's what I'll say.

When it happened, I said, no, no, no. Like how you got to learn from your mistakes in life. That's the only way to get better. When the next batter, when Barger walks, the next at bat, crazy at bat, by the way. That guy is a lunatic. Do you have like a player? I know this is horribly unfair.

I'm trying to think of someone that like reminds me of the way he plays baseball. And I can't do it. Like it's violent and he can hit anything. Like I don't know. I'm, I guess if you've got a player cop, I almost like some chipper Jones very light in there. I don't know.

It's just. No, he swings so hard. So hard. That's what I think of. Like he is, it's a max effort swing. no matter what. I love watching him play. I told you from the gigar.

I mentioned him early on in the Blue Jay season. This guy's different. You can just tell. Like, he's a hitter. He had a great World Series. He had a great postseason. So very happy for him. He gets to walk.

By the way, this is still, this is all off Snell, right? Yes, Snell's in. By the way, Snell's first relief appearance since 2019. So, again, that's a lame excuse we could make if we wanted to, but we're not. Think about if you're Dave Roberts or a Dodgers fan.

You tie the game. game with Miggi Roe, then all of a sudden, here we go. The Shets on first. Now we get a walk and Yamamoto comes in, which they said it was going to happen. We saw him warming up. My first thought was, where's Roki? I know he threw a lot of innings, a lot of pitches the night

before. So did Yamamoto. 94 pitches. I didn't think it was possible. Like, this doesn't happen, guys. Okay? So like, you know, Dodgers fans, you got to go with your dog. I'm like, dude, he just pitched last night. This isn't like a match.

Madison Bumgarner, we have a three days rest or two days rest, whatever it was. Like, this was literally less than 24 hours ago. The guy threw 94 pitches. But he's a dog, man. Yeah.

And like, and respect to the Japanese culture, Japanese baseball is different. Love it. They do it. They throw more pitches there. They pitch more frequently there. Like,

so, like, it is in him. He comes in and hits Alejandro Kurt Delo. So, yeah, The two things in there. He comes out and you're like, okay, is the stuff going to be the same? Are we going to be talking about this like grimy Yamamoto batlin?

First pitch is a 93 splitter and you're just like, my God, dude, you're not. You're 97 with the heater. You're not human. You're built differently. And then he leaves the splitter. It just keeps running in and it catches Kirk's hand. And the look on Yamamoto's face is just kind of like that. damn it like okay i was trying to be too cute i guess i can't do that now please can i go

anti john smolts now sure always if you're watching this program like chances are you played a little ball like just in any level oh yeah and you probably pitched i mean i'm assuming everyone like got to pitch a little bit uh i know man yeah okay pitching was like like okay let's just say you did and you you could you could you could get this even if you didn't pitch you yeah throw Oh, your arm hurts the next day. Sure. I think people, I think people listening can connect to that.

Your arm hurts, dudes. It does. It's sore. Big facts. And you get moved the same way. And here he is coming in. And you mentioned the splitter.

Still had the velo on the fastball. It truly is remarkable. Remarkable. The other thing that cracks me up is like, they were like, oh, and this guy's got this crazy workout routine. Like, he throws different stuff. and he's super flexible and he stretches. And it's like, oh, I don't, I don't know.

Maybe we should look into that just a little bit more. Like with every pitcher. Instead of getting like every 6-5-0. Oh, you don't like a V-Lap and just go throw the rock as hard as you can? Every 6-5-0 from the South and make them just throw it as hard as possible. Like, let's stretch. The drive-line guides are going to be in your mention. Good.

Good. I'm ready. Let's ball battle. Let's ball battle. Final seven drops November 9th. Get ready for that. Oh, no. See, this is what I was worried about.

You almost die. And just cut the video. Ah, it's a lot of bulge. Kirk gets hit by pitch. Its bases loaded. One out. Think about all the different. This is where I think baseball fans appreciate the game differently.

Snell spikes a slider. It hits the front corner of the plate and shoots away. the World Series is over. Yamamoto was in. Yamamoto, excuse me. Another splitter runs in. That's it, that's all. Toronto's got it.

Dalton Varshot, who was really in the bad place. Some of the stats and some of the swings. Hey, you called it. He got moved down. Flip with Barger. Yeah, how about that? That was just kind of normal Jake

talking out of my butt stuff, but they saw the same thing. But this is like the perfect scenario. Like, he has to throw you strikes. He throws a first pitch ball. that you're like, okay, dude, he's going to be in and around it. If you hit a good fly ball, you're now hero Dalton Varsho. If you hit one of your infield balls and it's the right area, you're a superhero.

He hits one. It's at Miguel Rojas, the guy that was out of the lineup until game six. He double clutches. And oh, I forget if I was going to say this with Bichette before. When they walked Barger and ICF goes to second, So I was like, I wouldn't have pinch run. When he got to second, I would have pinch run. So again, we're split in the atom there a little bit.

But the other problem is, IKF isn't a super speedy runner. He's not. You have to pinch run no matter what there, even before a second. I get it. I understand I'm a little spurn from that 18 inning affair that you and me were at and when we went into the family restroom during the 15th inning and did what we did. Um Farsho

Don't don't say that Hits one at Miggie Rowe And man this is where baseball Is just a sick disgusting sport Or a beautiful sport Because Micky Rowe You see the double clutch And your eyes get wide

Just because you know Okay that's kind of an unnatural throw This is a guy who's played more shortstop Than second in his career His body is kind of contorted That it's not going to be an easy throw And with that double clutch Is that going to be the difference between winning or losing the World Series?

The throw beats it by a stride. Will Smith's foot is on and then off home plate that we're double checking that. Trev, I don't know. I need to hear it from you. IKF secondary off third wasn't what you want to see if you're a Blue Jays fan watching that replay. Absolutely not. Okay. Not even close.

Damn, man. You know, you don't want to get like doubled off with a line drive, I guess you could be thinking that. But you're not really worried about a back pick because you have, well, no way, it was Varshow. So you have to give a little bit of credence there to a back pick. At the same time, it's a ballsy play for a catcher to do in that situation. He's kind of focused on blocking balls, right? And not throwing a ball into the outfield to lose the world series. So didn't love the secondary, but I want to get more credit.

I don't want to like, you know, more credit to Miggie Row on this play because you have a top spin ground ball on turf. This is not grass. So that second hop is even on grass, the second hop of a top spinner is going to shoot at you. And this is exactly what the ball did. And he knows that that's why you see him kind of backstep this ball go down to make sure he catches it. And then his feet just kind of got tangled up a little bit. That's why the, that's why the double clutch was there. It was the feet.

it wasn't the hands, uh, gets up somehow, is able to get on top of that ball because we're, from where his body was, you know, he's got to try to figure out a way to get on top. You'll see him just try to really get the fingers on top.

Those are strike and you're right, Will Smith like barely hangs on right there. And if the world series had ended on that, I mean, I know you'd be happy as a Blue Jay fan, but like that's a very anticlimactic, way for the World Series to end. Trev, this, again, I will say, sick but beautiful sport that we love.

Will Smith is an inch away, like if his foot stays up for a little bit longer from being in all time, what is you doing, baby? And a little spoiler, spoiler, spoiler, what happens future, he's the hero of the game. It's that that's insane And we're not out of the inning, pal Because who's coming up? Ernie Clement With the most postseason hits ever

And he hits a ball that's got a little bit of juice on it The outfielders look like they're still playing in a little bit Because of I guess A, Ernie Clement and B from playing in Andy Paez who came in for Tommy Edmund Because he has a stronger arm on the base is loaded situation. He didn't start the inning. He brought him in. Mid inning. Mid inning. I was wondering if they were going to do

five infielders. No. They bring in Pahas for Edmund, which that's a big move. And he goes Randy Moss on Kike, who, okay, I'll say this. So not everyone got to pitch. If you got to play outfield at some point of your life, whether Beer League or anything, that feeling when you got a fly ball, but you don't,

that's what Kike's body was doing. Yeah, Rob, go back to the start there. There was one point where they show Kiki running after that ball. I said that all the game's over. Like, right, go, keep going. Right about there. That little twist. That little twist.

There's no way. He's not going to catch that ball. And, you know, Kelly League bad news bears, Andy Pahez right there just says, get out of here. Kiki, by the way, after that when he came up and, you know, in the next inning fell when he was running down first base. Like his body's got to be pretty spanked up right now. And hey, again, maybe we're getting way too deep into this game,

but it's the World Series, I suppose, in an all-time game and an all-time series. We talk about like the baseball player mentality of confidence and trying to ignore everything. Annie Pa has with one of the worst offensive post seasons I think we've ever seen. And, you know, we try not to be critical of guys if there's not a reason to be because this sport is brutal to play. we got pretty tough on Pahas.

For him to come out mid-inning, a do-or-die ball for the World Series and say, I don't care what Kiki's doing, I'm catching that M-Fing ball. Imagine if that hops out of his glove. I don't think he knew Kiki was even around it. Neither these guys knew the other one was there because it was so loud in the stadium.

And he's just tracking that ball. The roof was closed, right? thing. So like there is that aspect like it's a closed roof like sometimes the ball goes up and you might not be able to track it the entire way. He was just on that ball and he's much bigger than Kike. Yeah, that's what we found out in that moment, huh? He's, yeah, because if they were the same size, I don't know if that play ends up the same. He just literally went over Kike and took him out. Dude. That's not. So it makes a play. And Ernie Clement, I said this to the people that were here.

I was like, dude, like, that guy hits that ball, sees Kike do what we saw him do. And he's like, I just won the World Series. I am, I am him. Like, I am the guy. Right. Like, everyone's going to know who I am for the rest of my life. And then Andy Pahas takes that away from him. He snatches eternal glory from Ernie Clement.

And that's not an exaggeration. That is, what happened? Eternal glory snatched. And now we're in extras. And it's brought to you by our friends at Draft Kings. Not a lot of baseball action left, but the NBA is rolling. Hockey is rolling.

Okay. So let's roll the ball out there for extras in the World Series. Rob Manfred in the script. Well done, my friend. Uncle Bobby, you did great. Here's the bases loaded with Dodgers, one out, and they do not score. Mookie Walk, Muncie single,

Tayasker Walk. Paix had a chance to be the hero. I mean, how many times do you see a big play? It didn't happen, though. No, he hit it to the guy with some of the smoothest hands and footwork I've ever seen on a baseball field in Jimenez. And then Kike grounds out and oh boy, down the line to first. And I know Yankee fans were having flashbacks.

And like, there's that moment of you got it. I take it. And the- Vlad, he's a dog. Vlad, he's a dog. I'm sorry. The footwork at the bag by Sir Anthony. It's a half step away from being a disaster.

Kiki, that look is going to go down as, I don't know. You get bodied up there too. by himself. He ends up falling on the ground again, dude. Tough, tough inning and a half for Kike. But they get out of it. Sir Anthony, who's clearly, he's given up a couple important homers that he's not the most trusted guy, but a guy guy, that he gets through it, that it's bottom 10, Yamamoto, one, two, three. Like, you're just like, who is this guy? Well, again, Jimenez, Springer, and then instead of Lucas or, I guess Schneider, it's straw.

So there's that pinch runner coming back in the lack of both these teams, a little observation after the fact, like the benches, not great. There's not great benches. Yeah, the Dodgers could have used a pinch hitter. You know, lefty pinch hitter. And for Toronto, the problem was they had all the pieces, but they all needed other pieces to work. Like, okay, Davis Schneider,

you pinch hit first lefty, but now we have to put Miles Strawn that it was like every transaction was like two transactions. I think that really ended up hurting them. And dude, the Bichette stuff is so brutal in hindsight. Like him being banged up like that. He was worth it.

Oh, yeah. Oh, I mean, again, I'm just saying the pickle, it put him in that you're like, you have to sub him out. And it's like, do we? The guy that hit him, the three-run Homer? I'd rather not. That's about to get $200 million in free agency. And yeah, Springer was down 3-0. He, like, doesn't swing 3-0, which that's part of his

signature. And then he kind of ends up expanding because he knows who's behind him in the lineup. You could say, I don't know, Yamamo, Yamamo, also gross. And in the 11th, here comes Shane Beaver. Cleveland's a young winner. This Toronto stop could go down as an all-time vagabond pitching them through the postseason. Again, I don't know. He gets two quick outs.

Miggy Row ground-up. Shohei, ground out. Wow, Toronto, they got the sauce back. Will Smith, 2-0, middle-middle, hanging slider. He turns on it. It's an absolute nuke. First ever player to Homer in extra innings of a World Series game 7.

He also caught 73 innings in this World Series. And he was injured and didn't play in the DS until game three. Yeah, they weren't allowing him to, like, catch a whole game. It was, you know, this guy comes back, does what he does. 2-0 slider stays through it. I love the shot of Kirsch going nuts. I mean, at this point, I'm going to make it about myself because that's what I do. Perfect.

Guys were watching outside, girls were watching inside. And somehow that TV inside got like this far ahead of our TV outside. And so we heard this big uproar, didn't know what it was all of a sudden, Will Smith into the freaking bullpen, man. And you mentioned a lot of the time we talk about other catchers and Cal Raleigh and who was it, before that, if it wasn't Cal Raleigh, they would always get him. Well, yeah, it's for, I guess, new listeners,

because this big episode, World Series dynamic, we do an all-JM team every month. Keep people updated through the year. And Will Smith was seemingly always second. It was J.T. Real Mudo. Yeah. William Contreras. Like, there was always just a guy that was like a nose ahead of him.

And on this Dodgers team with all these superstars, that Will Smith also has the name of one of the more famous superstars in the world. He blended in too much, and I don't think that can possibly happen in it anymore. No, it can't. And just, I don't know, man. And for it to be a catcher, you mentioned all the innings that he caught, caught all 18 of that 18 inning game, coming back to do this cross-country flight,

like those guys get banged up so, so much. and here he is in another extra ending game getting the job done. And it was a thing of beauty. It really was. But the game wasn't over, coach. That's the crazy part. Because in the 11th, Beaver, A, you want to be a pitcher kid? This is the number one thing that blows my mind.

You might have just lost the World Series. Now pitch to Freddie Freeman. He gets them. So that's insane to me. Bottom 11, here's Vladdy. Are they going to want to. Yamamoto's still in. Yamamoto's still in.

Who are they going to? Where's Roki? Where is Miggi Rojas who got taken out? We don't know why. I'm sure somebody in the chat probably knows. We're doing the show so we don't know. Heissom Kim, what I've been asking for. Right. I thought he might pinch hit for Pahas.

Right. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. comes up and you're like, okay, hey, where's Roki? Where's anyone in the bullpen? Is this just Yamamoto's game? Okay, they're probably going to pitch around. Hershaw started warming up. I know, dude.

We'll get there. The fact we got robbed from that is kind of insane. Vladty hits a lead-off double. On an, again, so many at-bats that, Trev, you coach, unbelievable, how Yamamoto battled in that. The take by Vladdy on the, was it a splitter in after the 97 fastball, that was the perfect plane of that same pitch that he just took for a strike, for him to take that and then somehow get his hands in to hit a double to lead off the inning.

And now IKF who's behind him from the Bichette sub, you're like, okay, now he can bunt. We could get him to third. IKF lays down a beauty. Beauty. As good as he can do. And I know Yamamoto's a stud, but man, think of everything you just mentioned. Like, we've seen a lot of pitchers. Oh, dude, nine out of ten pitchers zoo that ball.

Like, I'm not, that's not even exaggeration. nine out of ten do not make that play. I mean, that is as hard of a PFP as there is. And Yamamoto, being the freak athlete he does, makes it look kind of easy, which is crazy. And I think that becomes one of the themes of this. So Barger comes up and it's the unintentional, intentional walk. Because behind him is Alejandro Kirk,

who I think something that is highlighted. We just talked about it with the bench or even, okay, What if Yamamoto was one of these six, six, five southern oaths that couldn't field, that bunt is IKF on first and now they have to pitch to Barger. So like, it's where we talk about and why we appreciate such well-rounded baseball players because it comes into every play that Alejandro Kirk, who is an amazing baseball player, is built different in a, beautiful way, IMO. He's one of the best catchers in the game defensively. He's one of the

best catchers in the game offensively. His Achilles heel, he's one of the slowest players in the league. And he hits the chopper to short, man. Oh, 2, he got a curveball that it looked like the pitch before if he released. Could have been a ball he turns on. Mookie steps on second, throws to first. Heartbreaking. If he hits a fly ball there, we might still be playing baseball. I mean, Taylor made, right to Mookie, takes it himself, and all those Dodgers fans who told me, this is a flawed team. He didn't watch them for 162. You would have known that they were never going to be in this series.

They just won the World Series, back to back, by the way. And all these guys are coming back, all of them. Yeah, right. All of them. McGee Roe will see. Dodgers. Unbelievable, coach. Dodgers win their second consecutive World Series,

the first team to do it since the Yankees, the first NL team since Chris Rose's Big Red Machine in 75-76. First team never trail in the ninth inning of a World Series game seven on the road and come back to win. They batted 203 as a team, Trout. Yeah. The worst marked by a champion since 1966.

I don't. Robbie, can you get that video up again, running all the way back and show Dave Roberts. There was one guy that came out of the dugout, and it looked like he thought Dave Roberts was like waiting to give him a double high five. I saw that. But Dave was like looking at somebody in the stands, and the guy was like, oh, okay. Not this one, the next one.

The follow up one. This guy's like, hell yeah. And Dave said, hey, guys. That's brutal, Tremb. I can't believe you caught that too. Oh my God. I love awkward exchanges, Coach. You know that.

No. I don't. White guys are just not good to answer. It's not what we got. I don't know what we, what I have. Shohei Otani, 23, World Baseball, Classic champ, 2024 World Series,

25 World Series. Mookie is a four-time champ. Oh, that's Otani and Yamamoto's, by the way. They were teammates on that Japan team. And now, the Los Angeles Dodgers. George Springer, three hits in this game, playing grimacing after pretty much every swing. What an absolute dog, Yukon go huskies.

Andres Jimenez, eight for 19 with runners in scoring position. God. Almost nine for 19. If any, if a, A moth landed on a plant somewhere differently in the world. He's nine for 19 and a postseason hero forever. Barger was in discussion for World Series MVP. Six multi-hit world series games.

Bichette's playing on one leg. He hit the homer. The whole thing. I'm exhausted, coach. This game, this series took it out of me. This was an all-timer. And again, I mentioned at the beginning of the show, if you're a Blue Jays fan.

And you said it, I think, very poetically. Like, you'll, you'll never get to realize how beautiful this was. No. No. It's tough. Because as an outsider, just watching two teams go at it. That's why I got the double hat here. Unreal.

An unreal series. Do we need to do any, like, Chris Rosie stuff? Do we need to do, um, Dodgers dynasty? Like, does that do anything for you? How are they not? They're already a dynasty. Yeah. Yes.

And it's going to be, like you said, everyone's coming back. We haven't seen a team do that since 2000. I mean, we saw how tough the road really is. Like, I guess that's what I would like to say. As someone who's still got comments and tweets every day, this guy's hate in the Blue Jays. This guy hates the Dodgers. I'm just watching ball, man.

And it was awesome. How hard it was. for the Dodgers to repeat, I think, shows just whatever it is with this sport, that whether it's injury or timing or luck, like, you know, if you ran this simulation a few times, maybe Andy Pahas or Tayasker have amazing post seasons. They did not this postseason.

Snell before this performance was having a historically bad World Series technically by Earn Runs allowed. That it's just near, impossible whether it's a super team or not. Congrats to the Dodgers. The next steps are going to be fascinating to see how much they build and add to this team. The one guy that we know is not returning.

Highland Park. Yeah. Clayton Kershaw gets to warm up. He gets to feel it a little bit in game seven, right? We got robbed. I was saying if Barger gets out, they want Kirk to go first and third, and then maybe you bring in Kershaw to end it against Varsha, with the possibility of him having to face Clement?

I think he was coming in for Dalton Varsho. Anyways, I think... He gets the feelings, though, which I think is cool. Right, because he ends... Without the risk. Right, exactly. So he gets, who do he get? He get Lucas and the 18- inning game,

which will be his last pitch ever thrown. in a majorly baseball game. We have video of ourselves reacting to it, which I think is really cool. He gets the little, you know, little goosebumps warming up in the bullpen game seven, and then he gets to run out,

and now he's spraying champagne all over everybody, drinking beer shirtless. I'm almost positive of that. I haven't seen any videos, but guarantee shirts off. But I think we'd be remissed. We just didn't mention what a career

and what a way to go out for a guy that's going to have a statue outside of Dodger Stadium. We went out there and paid homage to the statues, you and I. Yeah. I wanted you to do the Jackie Robinson slide. I was into the Sandy Kofex pitch. Pretty soon there's going to be a Clayton Kershaw right there. Probably, I'm assuming this thing, whatever he did, you know. So shout out Kersh, man.

Cool to see. Yeah, that reaction we showed from him, the Will Smith Homer, out in the bullpen acting like a little kid it's something that only sports has um and yeah uh excited to see what's next for kersh um Toronto man I don't know I I wouldn't want to hear for me if I was a blue jay fan um an incredible run like no doubt and the sadness I can't really imagine the most hits in a single post season the most runs in a single post season um Baseball is really hard, and everything I said about the Dodgers, which some people think are a super team are now considered a dynasty.

To get back is so, so hard that it's just, Vladdy's going to be there. And man, how about this? I'm not, because I don't want people to spend it as Yankees and always saying Toronto's not going to go back. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has established himself as a dude top. I don't know. I'd have to look at the list, but how he was playing defense at first.

And this is, every time we do this game, if there's a third baseman who's not killing and it's like, hey, maybe first could work. Look what Vladdy did defensively this postseason. Insane. Never mind being one of the scariest men I've ever seen at the plate with a bat in his hand. Winning at bats against dudes that couldn't be beaten by other guys. Like Yamamoto was invincible. He was Superman.

Vladdy beat him. I think there were times where we, and rightfully so, I believe, we question what kind of player is Vlad? Is he the superstar? Is he just a really good player? Because those are two different things. He cemented his status as a superstar in the game.

I don't think there's anyone that can question that now. And he's 26. He's 26 years old. He plays like, you want, like there's nobody that can say, I don't want Vladdy on my team. The way that guy plays.

And like the way his attitude is. Like he's, he's a damn near a perfect baseball player. So shout out Vladdy, man. And not that I didn't have respect for him before. Or like baseball fans didn't before. But I think everyone now just is really like, okay, you're one of the guys. Yeah.

And I, again, I'm almost mad at myself for not like, he's 26, man. Like talking about a guy when they're 23 and, I don't know, man. I kind of didn't grow up until I was 31. I don't know. 51, I'm still hoping it's coming. That, I don't know. I'm going to be interested to see how he reacts to this

because he's already grown up so much in the past couple years that I don't know, is this going to be the scar that leaves him driven to show what he can do day and day out for 162 and have that OPS in the nines? Like, he can one dot, like, the worst. Like the way this guy plays, he's invincible when he wants to be. And then to Bichette's free agency and the pitching staff.

Yeah, that's what- Max Scher should have his shirt off right now, Trev. Lou Jays have to take care of Boba Chet. You have to. You have to. It's got to be Andres Amenes and Boba Chet either at second base or at third base. I don't know. That's the gross part, man.

Max Scher and Shane Bieber could be crazy. cracking beers and and gross gross what else do you have coach trev thank you to all our listeners throughout the year i mean we we um we love doing this show and it becomes a grind from time to time because it takes a lot of work and we don't always get it right man

it's hard to follow every single game every single day of the year and you guys let us know we're fine with that we we truly do our best We have one of the best researchers in the game, Dalton Feeley keeping us informed and Rob Serocco making sure that we can put out content wherever it needs to be done. I do it on the road. Jake, you know, does it at home from time and time. The setups aren't always ideal, but we got two guys working really, really hard. And we do it because we have people that we have a great community. And we've always had a great community. And it's something I'm very thankful for. So, you know, this is us signing off for a 20, 25 season. I'd be, you know, I really want to thank. everybody for sticking with us it's nuts the whole thing is insane sometimes i forget like i'll i'll meet a person in society and they're like what do you do i'm like yeah like i'm this is what i do um so like thank you to everyone uh i know it's it sounds corny but it's super real when we're actually doing it um and yeah dalton and rob this postseason have been unreal um our socials team

Yes, I was going to say social team, yes. They never get enough love because they just grind so, so hard. I guess sales team, everyone, it's John Boy Media and what this has turned into. My guy, Jamalama Ding Dong, he wishes he could be here more, but my God, that guy, he makes babies and he makes breakdowns and he makes the warehouse and he does everything that I know you and me miss him and want to get him on here a little more, but it's tough. and yeah, a thank you for myself as well.

Like, it's been a crazy year or two for me on and off the field, and it's cool to have a career that sometimes I can get lost in to get away from. There's times when that's not healthy for me, and I have to deal with real life. But it's, it's the coolest thing. So thank you guys. We will be back. I don't fucking know.

Not Monday. Not Tuesday. We'll figure it out with our sales crew. Jeremy, we love you guys. Thank you. Thanks. Hey, thank you, coach. My guy.

Brothers. Brothers fight. Brothers fight. Fight or fuck. That's what we do. I was wondering if you would drop it. What do you think that L.A. trip was about? The bathroom in the 15th inning?

What? Knew that get you.
